Researchers identify blood cells and sequence the y-chromosomal DNA of the Iceman (paternal). Iceman’s stomach content is analyzed. The Iceman had dental pathologies. The Iceman was involved in seasonal transhumance.

(Albert Zink (DNA), Marek Janko (blood), Frank Maixner (stomach), EURAC-Institute for Mummy Studies, Bolzano/Bozen (I), laboratory for ancient DNA); Roger Seiler (teeth), Centre for Evolutionary Medicine (ZEM) Zurich (CH);
Wolfgang Müller (transhumance), Royal Holloway University of London (UK). All studies have been presented at the EURAC Iceman Congress in October, 20-22nd 2011 in Bolzano. Most of them are yet published in scientific journals, some of them also in the Yearbook of mummy studies 2014.

The Iceman’s genome (nuclear DNA) is deciphered.

First results: The Iceman had brown eyes, blood group 0 and belongs to the y-chromosomal Haplogroup G2a2b (formerly G2a4), which is rare in modern Europe. The Iceman was lactose intolerant. Maladies: The Iceman was predisposed to cardiovascular disease and is the first recorded case of a human infected with the Lyme disease pathogen.

Article: The scientific publication of Wolfgang Müller will follow. In the meantime see press news of 19th Sept 2016 of the 3rd Bolzano Mummy Congress - Ötzi: 25 years of research
